Jebman Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 If I had known that I was gonna get easterned in late 2010 - I would have gotten EVERY single snowmageddon image known to mankind. I would have had thousands of them. I am so obsessed with snow that it is a national emergency worthy of Homeland Security lol. It's BAD when I put snow ahead of PEOPLE and I am not just some immature teenager - I am supposed to be a grown up 46 year old man. Geeze We have absolutely WASTED 20 years of therapy - I am a lost cause forever - always going to be a total embarrassment to my family and community every time there is snow. I should be shipped up to Nunavut then shoved off the transport into the snow and vodka cold I worship even in lieu of G-d and I'm damn proud of it - even at my advanced age. If there is a G-d (religion is something man needs to grow the hell out of yesterday asap) I would stand before him in death and proclaim my love for deep snow and 200 below zero cold with 100 mph winds. But G-d is only something man dreamed up - we need to get over this yesterday I saw the movie Everest: Into Thin Air ( http://outsideonline.com/outside/destinations/199609/199609_into_thin_air_1.html ) and I loved the wind, the snow and most of all the COLD - no thoughts whatsoever for the climbers - they were an afterthought - ALL I EVER gave a darn about was all that fresh pristine SNOW and the beautiful BLIZZARD with 75+ mph winds up on that precious mountain. I love snow with all my heart. Some people are WAYYYYYYYY beyond help. I am most emphatically one of them. I ENJOYED Lake Shore Drive - I had a hardon over the stranded cars in the three feet of snow - No empathy whatsoever I salivated over all those pics - I made certain to record every last one of them. I LOVE that deep snow so much - I'd sell off every last one of my friends to Mubarak's regime just for a chance to shovel that snow on Lake Shore Drive Metra, CTA no one in Chicago knows how to remove snow like the Jebman. All I need is my trusty snow shovel and a pick for the sleetpack. A sleetpack is no match for the Jebman. I would clear all the snow from Lake Shore Drive all by myslef. Every official in Chi-town would stare in utter disbelief, with their jaws resting on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Great images, everyone. Nothing wrong with living in the past. And how many of us will pitch a tent if we get another Nino year with megablocking and see a strong southern stream storm brewing on the models?

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 This was my favorite image from Snowmageddon. I had been hyping this storm to my Facebook Profile for 4 days prior to the storm. I was going BIG the whole way (thanks to this Board - well, I mean the predecessor Board, but same folks). 36 hours before Snowmageddon started, I posted "2.8 - 3.2 QPF !!!!!" on Facebook. Of course nobody knew what that meant, so my post read "If this storm verifies, it will be the largest storm in history to ever hit Baltimore (it wasn't - that was "officially" February 15-18, 2003) (see footnote 1 below). When people asked me what that meant, I said "28 to 32 inches". Many gave me a "like" button, some said "Bring it", etc., but all the other posters made comments such as "nobody else on tv is/are calling for that" (remember that was 36 hours prior to start). When it verified, I was a local hero to my Facebook friends. And when I hit again on last weeks storm when TV was at "low qpf and rain", I became their official winter met (again thanks to all you). Look at that thing (carefully) !!!! Do you see that? It is touching CANADA and COSTA RICA at the same time!!!! My comment when I posted to Facebook was simply "Here she comes!" And look behind that storm back in the Pac NW. You know what that was, right? That was Snowmageddon II. Such an AWESOME winter last year. Adam Footnote 1: First, it must be remembered that Snowmageddon was an event, not a storm. There were two storms within, more or less, 3 days. I will call them "Snowmageddon I" and "Snowmageddon II". But was "Snowmageddon I" the recordbreaker at BWI? You see, when it comes to measuring snow, the people at BWI, well, they "did it wrong". See http://baltimore.cbs...t-bwi-marshall/ Snowmageddon (the event) apparently also caused this controversy: http://weblogs.maryl..._all_ranke.html Unless I am mistaken, to-date we do not have an "official" calculation for Snowmageddon I at BWI. There was a picture that someone in the forums posted on Feb 3 of the storm when it was over Texas. If anyone knows the picture I'm talking about and has it, please post it. It's about the most awesome pic I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 That water vapor shot on Wed afternoon shows the location I mentioned earlier. The pic that was posted was a visible sat shot just as the sun was setting. I actually think it was already dark on the east coast. The pic looked like it was taken from a satellite that would have been located (over) somewhere in the neighborhood of maybe the Bahamas. It was an incredible photo.
